Hammerting Patch Notes (November 16, 2021)
Features:
⦿ Multiplayer Co-op Mode!
- A co-op mode can now be played.
- Multiplayer should work across all different stores where Hammerting can be bought seamlessly.
- There’s now a new button in the start menu, called ‘Multiplayer’.
- If you go there, you’ll be able to name and create a lobby. Be sure to name it something unique.
- Let your friends and enemies know the lobby name, and they’ll be able to join you as you delve deeper into the caverns.
You’ll all control the dwarves at the same time, and the dwarves will decide which ethereal being (player) they will choose to follow for the time being.
⦿ Hammerting!
- Hammertings can now be held in the Great Hall!
- Holding a Hammerting will grant bonuses to the Mountain Home.
- When holding a Hammerting, all dwarves will meet in the Great Hall to discuss the matter.
- Hammertings can only be held once every two in-game hours.
⦿ Overworld War!
- Factions on the Overworld will now declare war against each other!
- When at war, the factions will send armies toward their enemies if they have high enough Manpower and Might.
- When two armies meet, they will engage in combat until one of them is victorious!
- When an army reaches an enemy location, that location defends itself against the attacker, but its Fortification will take damage.
- If a location reaches 0 Fortification, it will fall and the items it holds will be destroyed.
- A location will prioritize re-building its Fortification over producing new goods to sell.
- When armies have torn down all Fortifications, they will march toward the enemy capital.
- Dwarves can help factions and locations by selling them goods, for example:
- Things that restore building health will increase Fortification.
- Weapons and Armor increases Might.
- Items restoring hunger and morale will increase Manpower.
- Factions wait to declare war until their holdings have full Fortification.
- Hexes on the Overworld will now be conquered by factions if an army reach an enemy capital and that faction has 0 Fortification on all locations.
⦿ Overworld Victory Condition!
When your relation level with another faction reaches the Esteemed level, you will unlock the Dwarven Subversion mission, in that Faction’s capital. Completing this mission will make the faction a permanent ally.
- There is now a victory condition called World Conquest. This is achieved by having your Overworld allies control all overworld locations. Completing this mission will win the game.
⦿ Thought Bubbles!
- Dwarfs will now show thought bubbles over their heads whenever they start a new task showing what they are going to do.
- This can be disabled in the options menu.
⦿ More Materials, Items & Recipes!
- The following crops can now be planted: Sulphur Sprouts, Citadel Mushroom, Sugar Beets, Rime Beets, Grapes, Tomb Lilac, Hops, and Troll Tails.
- Added Troll Cloth, Dwarven Licorice, and Mountain Barley.
- A lot of recipes for fish-based dishes has been added
- Two new wall materials have been added: Ornamental and Runic
⦿ Book of Tings Updated!
